Our Attorneys

Weitz & Luxenberg has continued to build on this tradition of success, growing as a firm both in size and resources. W&L today has over 100 attorneys working in world-class facilities located in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Cherry Hill, N.J., outside of Philadelphia.

Associate Attorney

"My job as a plaintiff’s lawyer is to seek justice on behalf of people injured by defective products or fraudulent conduct, and to help them regain at least some of what they’ve lost. Success in that regard requires approaching each case with a meticulously planned strategy, intimate knowledge of the law, and tireless dedication to the job."

Associate Attorney

"While I love the intellectual challenge of doing complicated medical device and pharmaceutical drug litigations, what motivates me and keeps me going is the opportunity to help individuals and families. I consider myself very privileged to be in the position I am to be of service to those in need."

Associate Attorney

"Fighting for clients injured by defective prescription drugs and medical devices is important advocacy of consumer rights to redress the egregious behavior of companies that do not adequately warn, and in conscious disregard, of the risks associated with the products they sell to the public."

Associate Attorney

Of Counsel

"Weitz & Luxenberg champions working people — people who would otherwise be without a voice to stand up for their legal rights. I consider it a great honor to be able to help them obtain the justice they seek."

Associate Attorney

"Our clients have suffered life-altering injuries. And that’s what brings them to us for help. I am delighted and honored to be part of this caring team of supremely talented attorneys that offers the help these injured people urgently need."

Trial Counsel

"It’s important for clients to have continuous contact with their attorney. That’s why, when I take on a case, I personally attend to every detail: the pleadings, discovery, depositions and trial. After trying every type of case imaginable over the past 40-plus years, it’s rare that I’m faced with an issue that I haven’t already litigated."

Of Counsel

"Perry [Weitz] has never done anything but encourage us to spend whatever it takes to do the very best job, because he was a trial lawyer. If anything, he’ll say, ‘Why didn’t you do another focus group? Why didn’t you spend more money to prepare? Why not do more?’ It’s not just that they don’t say ‘no.’ They actually encourage you to do everything that you can to win."

Associate Attorney, Trusts and Estates

"We have a tireless commitment to fight against the harm caused by exposure to asbestos. It’s a good fight, a worthy fight. The men and women who built this country deserve to be compensated by the companies who put them in their unfortunate situation, and that’s why we do what we do here."

Co-Founding Member

"When Perry Weitz and I founded this firm in 1986, we took the position that every client’s case would be treated as if it were the most important because we believe every client deserves his or her lawyer’s diligent attention, compassion, and excellence. We had but one goal: providing exemplary, custom-tailored legal service. Nothing has changed since the beginning, except that we’re now the largest mass-tort and personal injury litigation law firm in New York City and a powerhouse of legal innovation on the national scene as a result of holding fast to our founding principles.
We find ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity of practicing law at its highest level for America’s most vulnerable citizens as well as furthering ambitious philanthropic and social initiatives."

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

"Many of our clients’ lives will never be the same. They had a hip, knee, shoulder, or elbow prosthesis surgically implanted, hoping to get better, and instead suffered toxicity from cobalt and chromium debris requiring the premature removal of the implant. For some clients, the device spontaneously fractured because of the metallic corrosion. That’s why I am honored to be part of a team that works passionately on their behalf — to get them the compensation they deserve and to make the medical product companies think twice before gambling again with the well-being of decent people."

Associate Attorney

"We’re not medical miracle workers, so we can’t restore anyone’s life or health. However, as attorneys, what we can do is see to it that the injured receive fair and reasonable compensation for what they’ve been made to endure."

Practice Group Co-Chair

Associate Attorney

"Most individuals who contact us have never before filed a lawsuit. Their primary concern is with their health or that of a loved one. They don’t know what their legal rights are; they’re not sure if they even have any. We assist them in a number of ways, including informing them of what their legal options are and the best course for moving forward."

Associate Attorney

Associate Attorney

"Our clients have been hurt by the defendants. We don’t compound that by then treating them like a number. Every client is, to us, a unique individual facing a unique situation. We see every client as a person worthy of deepest respect and serious attention."

Associate Attorney

"Working at Weitz & Luxenberg is exactly where I want to be. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be an attorney and navigate the legal system in order to help people. The law, as I see it, is one instrument whereby all people can be treated equally. A regular David can challenge Goliath companies – and win. All of my colleagues and I strive for fairness and justice on behalf of our clients, and there’s a shared energy that motivates us each and every day."

Associate Attorney, Appellate Unit

"One of the great things about working for Weitz & Luxenberg is that you know you’re part of something bigger than just yourself. We’re all here to help people harmed in some way — by a company or a person who was irresponsible or, in the case of asbestos manufacturers, downright contemptible. When one of us achieves a “win” for a client, we all feel the satisfaction of having done something important, something that really matters to the people we’re trying to help."

Co-Founding Member

"When I joined forces with Arthur Luxenberg many years ago, we created a firm dedicated to protecting workers’ rights and the legal rights of the disadvantaged while, at the same time, returning something back to the people of New York. Our employees take great pride in knowing that the Weitz & Luxenberg law firm is so often associated with charitable causes and activities. Our efforts are motivated by the firm’s commitment to give something back to the communities in which we live and work."

Associate Attorney

"I find it extremely rewarding to be in a position to help somebody whose life has been dramatically damaged by a company’s wrongful conduct and hopefully to get the opportunity to see their lives change for the better."

Associate Attorney

"Prescription drugs are often rushed to market before their side effects are fully known. In some cases, the side effects turn out to be deadly. In still other cases, the manufacturer and sellers know or at least suspect that these dangerous side effects exist, but are too intent on making profits to do the right things. That’s why Weitz & Luxenberg is here. It’s to hold these makers and marketers responsible, and to see to it that the innocent victims of these products are adequately compensated for the harm they suffered."
